MIAMI — DON'T LISTEN. Eastern Air Lines and Texas Air Corp. urged a federal judge to ignore an employee group's efforts to block their proposed merger. In a 90- page document filed with U.S. District Court in Miami, the airlines warned that Eastern could ''face financial insolvency'' should the deal fall through. Earlier this month, an Eastern employee coalition that includes the airline's main labor unions sued to block a Nov. 25 shareholders meeting at which the merger is expected to be approved.
